LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Rob Kardashian, once a fixture in the public eye, is now reportedly embracing a quieter life away from the spotlight. Sources have revealed that the reality star, who has been struggling with paranoia, is deeply fearful of being recognized when out in public.

This revelation comes on the heels of a dramatic schoolyard confrontation involving Rob’s eight-year-old daughter, Dream Kardashian, and ex-girlfriend Blac Chyna. They reportedly clashed with Ryder Wharton, the seven-year-old daughter of 'The Challenge' stars Cory Wharton and Cheyenne Floyd, over a question that sparked drama - "Who is more famous?"

According to the information sources shared with OK Magazine, Rob Kardashian, 37, is reportedly “terrified of being out in public and getting recognized or photographed.” The source added that even when his sister Khloe Kardashian "wants to take the kids out, 99 percent of the time, Rob refuses to go.”

The insider continued, revealing that on the rare occasions Rob leaves his gated community, he “drives around in blacked-out cars and even wears disguises” to maintain his privacy.

Further details emerged about Rob’s personal struggles, with the source claiming, “He’s truly paranoid.” However, there is a bright spot in his life—his eight-year-old daughter, Dream, whom he shares with Blac Chyna. “She’s the absolute center of his world,” the source explained, adding that Rob spends most of his time with her, either at his own home or at Khloe's.

When Dream isn’t with him, Rob’s days are much quieter, with the insider noting, he spends "at his home with a few close friends who come over to play video games, eat pizza and just hang out in the safety of his compound.”

Rob Kardashian has 'bit of a love life', reveal sources

Sources have also provided insights into Rob Kardashian’s love life, revealing that he "does still have a bit of a love life." However, they noted that any woman interested in seeing him has to come to him as he "almost never goes anywhere."

The source continued, saying, "His family are all telling him it’s no way to live his life, they worry that he’s become so agoraphobic and completely shut off from the outside world."

In a recent interview with Bustle, Khloe Kardashian opened up on her close bond with her brother, Rob, who prefers to stay out of the public eye and extend that privacy to his family. Khloe shared, "That's just my baby. I love all my siblings, but I think with Rob, I identify with him so much. I feel so deeply what he feels — the struggles that he has, or just wanting to be out of the public eye, or just feeling like he doesn’t fit in or is being judged about his appearance."

The mother-of-two added, "I feel like we were raised in pairs: It was Kourtney and Kim, and then it was me and Rob, and then Kendall and Kylie. And I just feel like we are both each other's protectors. I love him so much. It's just innate," as per Hello Magazine.
